Absolutely agree. That is one part of the data accuracy part we want to
face now.

Same here. Topic on the agenda as well.

There are several things that can be done easily to increase data
accuracy and others that are more complex. I think abuse-c will already
increase data accuracy significantly, but yes, we need to figure out
ways to increase and keep up data quality. Lets go step by step and make
things happen.
All this is definitively on our agenda in the near future.
Thanks for your feedback.
